Step back in time to 1898 with this advertising masterpiece designed for the French bicycle company, Cycles Le Globe. French artist Emile Clouet's masterpiece is a vibrant tribute to an era brimming with spirit and possibility. Behold the striking image: a woman, adorned in a flowing white gown with delicate red lace and a crimson ribbon gracing her hair, exudes empowerment. Her confident posture and puffed sleeves speak of liberation as she raises her right hand while her left rests gracefully on her hip. Riding the cutting-edge Le Globe bicycle, she's embraced by a golden globe, symbolizing the bicycle's revolutionary global impact. Cycles Le Globe blazes in bold red, commanding attention and perfectly complementing the stunning backdrop. The colors dance from lush green to brilliant gold, culminating in deep blue, creating a twilight atmosphere that's nothing short of enchanting and surreal. More than any other innovation, the bicycle was a catalyst for women's emancipation during this era. It offered unchaperoned freedom, a concept nearly inconceivable for most women of the time. This authentic stone lithograph is not just a piece of advertising art; it's a testament to an era of progress and change, where the bicycle became a symbol of women's liberation and newfound mobility. Display it proudly, and let it transport you to a time when freedom was just a pedal away. Condition: Very Good. Age appropriate wear, fading and toning. Original fold lines have been professionally restored. Minor printer marks in left border. Light scuffs. Conservation mounted on linen. Please use zoom feature to get a better understanding of overall condition.
